I was so, so waiting for consequences to finally reach this asshole. Reminder that this was an unhoused teenage student who was apparently exhausted trying to meet all her responsibilities. She needed an advocate, not a bully. This is the type of person that demands respect from you, while not valuing you as a human, beyond considering what you can do for him. I hope he endures excruciating traffic cases until he is removed from the bench…

You see, one party lies with every breath. So they are not supposed to fact check “each other”…

I’m glad Amanda is for Democracy… But why is she (apparently) for embedding a landscape video inside her portrait video that doesn’t fit on my screen, so now it’s scaled down to 1/9th my TV’s viewable area?

Extremists (hint: not Tim Walz) will be able to just spout lies the whole time, and rational, honest candidates: (hint: not JD Vance) will have to either let them get away with complete bullshit assertions, or spend part of their time doing the job of the moderators… This is why no one believes in Journalism these days…

10 years ago, this would be an Onion headline.

That is frustrating. I would counter those people that being passionate is not the same thing as extremist media personalities that literally profit off outrage. It’s okay to hear and react to things, but we shouldn’t all be open fucking sores that flip out over literally every single thing we encounter like an autistic toddler: all emotion, no perspective, can’t be reasoned with, etc. That’s the Republican Outage Machine…

“Associated with”? That’s definitely incorrect. Maybe"referencing", “calling out” or even “denouncing”…

Or even be able to read. Sheesh. I’m going to consume items that I’m hoping erase my short-term memory.

Then organic organism organizing.

Because… she’s an empathetic, intelligent, introspective individual, who listens to experts, her advisors, and citizens. Not everyone needs to be manipulated to do the right thing…

Thank you. I’m not actually that old-school, but back in the day, the only directions that mattered were the changes. “Turn right on the dirt road, and follow it for about 35 miles. Turn right at the crazy magenta and black diner…”

I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. What were you saying?

That’s… some different issues. I think your phone/vehicle/GPS might actually be haunted. Do you know of any exorcists?

Woah, that’s crazy. I was specifically thinking of I-25! Though it does it with other roads and highways as well…

Of course! That was only a couple weeks ago…

Yes, it is. I use it every day to visit multiple locations. My personal pet peeve is when it displays “In 1.5 miles, continue straight”. On a road where there’s no changes in that distance. That’s not part of the directions, that’s just continuing. Not only is it unhelpful because I can’t not do this “step”, but I can’t see the next, actual step, which could be “In 200 ft, turn left” and won’t know which lane to be in.

I can’t prove it, but I think at some point they applied an automatic algorithm that added intermediate steps to all their routing (for when a road curves a certain way, etc), but it was too aggressive and not human-reviewed.

Amazing actor. What a loss…

Thanks for cheering me up.

Definitely not!

And my axe!
